The recent rise in malware attacks proves that every operating system, including Linux, needs protection from malicious programs. In fact, studies have shown that Linux malware now accounts for more than 35% of all malware, tripling in number over the past three years.

Most organizations are running some version of Linux, and for many, it is at the core of their operations. Linux is fundamental to organizations with assets running in AWS, Azure, and other cloud vendors as well. As a result, Linux has proven to be a lucrative target for malicious attackers who are finding opportunities to exploit Linux directly. Linux systems can also serve as hosts to Windows viruses. It's time for the Linux community to take these threats seriously.

Protection Without Sacrificing Performance

Text

Enterprise antivirus software provides a critical layer of protection, but many system administrators have concerns over system performance issues that may arise from installing antivirus software across their Linux environment. Advanced malware protection with Powertech Antivirus is lightweight and has minimal impact on system performance. Flexible scanning options allow users to determine whether they want to protect their systems in real-time or schedule on-demand scans during opportune maintenance windows. However, those that choose real-time protection experience little performance impact. In fact, most hardly notice the software is running – until it detects a virus of course.
